You could use ZSyncer and set up a cron job to automate its calling either through xmlrpc or httplib. I'd personally use xmlrpc from a cron job. We're doing this in several places and it works very well. Something like this: import xmlrpclib server = xmlrpclib.Server('http://localhost:8080/') server.someScript() This script should call the ZSyncer object with the appropriate properties set. Take a look at the code for ZSyncer and you should be able to find what you're looking for.

As and when one of them goes down the other is activated by the firewall for the duration that the primary went down. How do I keep these two instances in sync at all times ( mebbe a 10-15 min delay between syncs)?? I looked at ZSyncer but it seems I have to explicitely specify objects to be synced.
